Gee it seems that if a fella defunds Planned Parenthood he can't even go out for a coffee without somebody shaming him for it.

Rick Scott, the Trump-loving, women-hating governor of Florida, can’t even visit a local Starbucks for a caffeine fix without hearing from disgruntled Floridians enraged over his political theater.

Cara Jennings, a 39 year old woman from Gainesville, happened to be in the local Starbucks when the Governor popped in unannounced for a drink.

Jennings decided in the moment to let him know just what she thought of his recent decisions to de-fund Planned Parenthood and significantly cut Medicaid.

“You cut Medicaid, so I couldn’t get Obamacare, said Jennings pointing her finger at Scott and simultaneously silencing one of his aides trying in vain to intervene, “You’re an a–hole. You don’t care about working people. You should be ashamed to show your face around here.”

I LOVE how Scott runs out of the Starbucks with his tail between his legs.

Well now this woman is my new hero.

Good for her in standing up for women all over her state, and calling this guy exactly what he is, an asshole.

Bristol Palin Rips Azealia Banks Over Fight With Her Mom: ‘There Will Be Consequences’http://www.mediaite.com/online/bristol-palin-rips-azealia-banks-over-fight-with-her-mom-there-will-be-consequences/

‘There Will Be Consequences’

What consequences? Sarah Palin has not sold her Judge Palin TV Show. The Palins make threats and their flying monkeys do all the dirty for them. https://cdn.meme.am/instances/400x/54157228.jpg

This may embolden other constituents of red states to speak boldly to their politicians if they happen to mingle with their voters. Sure politicians must realize every one person who yells at them represents hundreds who haven't been able to see them in person, yet. Unfortunately, Scott and his ilk will just have their minions go for their coffees, lunches to avoid vocal voters. Wusses, indeed.

Did Scott say something about a million new jobs and she said, I don't have one...and he says, well, you should. Should!?! not, I'm sorry you don't.

I swear if I had been there, I would have stood and cheered. You go girl! There is absolutely no reason to not express your opinion when encountering politicians. They are elected by, and work for, the very people they encounter. Good for that woman!

"President Barack Obama Is the Most Threatened President In History."https://twitter.com/THTBAW/status/272893287055118337?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwAccording to the Secret Service, the president is the most threatened person in the U.S., regardless of political party.

It was a thing of beauty. Had he not been a wuss he would have calmly taken the time to listen to her, jot down notes. He doesn't have to agree, he just needs to listen and let her know she has been heard. A coward does what he did.

I wish that every politician who supports/votes to defund/limit health care, including Planned Parenthood gets the same treatment wherever they go. Women especially need to speak out to embarrass these selfish a-holes. Perhaps more women would be emboldened to do so after seeing Cara's take-down of Voldemort.(Please clap.LOL)

Well. Realistically, a-hole, mostly Republican, politicians don't go out in public all that often. This guy just got caught in the euphoria of the moment and thought for an instant he was a man of the people. Ooops. That woman is a hero.

Middle-aged women, unite! I swear, we could join hands and GET SHIT DONE.I love this woman. And the gov is a Grade A Entitled Asshole Wimp who is ignorant beyond belief.Also, LOL, notice everyone else was afraid of her, too? Love it!

Don't restrict your GET SHIT DONE efforts to middle-aged women. Unless you count 75 as middle-aged. Women from 12 to 112 can GET SHIT DONE if we just pull together. Because we're women, we labor to give life godammit!!

Ok, IM'ers....I am a student and I live in Gainesville! This exchange with Rick Scott happened after he had been in town promoting a company who had added new jobs. The employees are in the background of the press conference with their eyes cast downward, nobody wants to look at Rick Scott!

From there, he stopped in downtown Gainesville at Starbucks. He was with an entourage, and thought he would be well received because of the previous stop where nobody called him out because they could lose their jobs if they did. So he was feeling confident in Gainesville, which he never should have felt that way !

Gainesville is a very very blue city in the middle of red. We are a college town, with University of Florida here. We are a boho/hippie town. Lots of professors, college students, coffee shops, craft beer indie restaurants, farmers markets, etc.... We make lots of Great Places to Retire Lists. Our cost of living is low, our weather is great, and we are a very liberal college town. We never vote for Rick Scott so I am surprised he was stupid enough to venture outside of the company where he was scheduled to stop.

The Starbucks lady made the front page of our paper today! She is a local hero. We're so proud of her. I know Florida gets a bad rap because of all the idiots here, but Gainesville is so much better than that. Come on down and see for yourself.

Is there a single Republican that ISN'T a flaming asshole these days? (perhaps a few that can be counted on one hand) And yet, these pricks keep getting reelected. Who exactly is pulling the lever or marking their ballots to return these assholes to office? The uninformed electorate, that's who! Apparently, it's still the big three issues the ignorant populace is still focused on: Guns, God and Gays. Sometimes, you really do get the government you deserve. Keep voting against your own best interests, your wallet and the Republicans will still maintain their majority. Sigh...

“People with radical views tend to not like civil debate. A self-proclaimed anarchist rudely yelled and cursed at the Governor. She also refused to Pledge Allegiance to the flag. It’s a free country, but its not at all surprising that an anarchist prefers shouting over conversation.”

Typical, she is an embarrassment. Yelling at the Governor about not getting her free stuff, medicade, while lounging around a starbucks sipping a latte wasting time on her laptop, probably surfing facebook.
